Drawing on his experiences as a family physician, Dr. Meili argues that health delivery too often focuses on treatment of immediate causes and ignores more fundamental conditions that lead to poor health. The social determinants of health – income, education, employment, housing, the wider environment, and social supports – have far more impact than the actions of health care providers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis updated edition describes the positive steps that have been taken since the publication of the first edition. It includes expanded discussions of basic income, poverty reduction strategies, innovative housing polices, carbon pricing, and the role of health professionals in working for health equity, as well as new chapters on poverty, food security, and climate change. This book breaks important ground, showing us how a focus on health can change Canadian politics for the better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword \/ \u003cem\u003eAndré Picard\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForeword to the First Edition \/ \u003cem\u003eRoy Romanow\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 A Healthy Society\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Medicine on a Larger Scale\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 The Extra Mile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Growth and Development\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 The Search for a Cure to Poverty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 Out of House and Home\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 The Warming World\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 The Equality of Mercy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 Learning to Live\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 Heading Downstream\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 Less Politics, More Democracy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12 Our Future Together\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes; Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Purich Books","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52531138265368,"sku":"9780774880268","price":22.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-healthy-society-updated-and-expanded-edition-how-a-focus-on-health-can-revive-canadian-democracy-paperback-softback-9780774880268","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
